Last minute: A major blow was dealt to the terrorist organization DEASH in eastern Syria. The leader of the organization al-Muhajir was killed in the CENTCOM attack. In the statement made by CENTCOM, it was stated that the operations against DAESH will continue.
“DEASH IS A THREAT BEYOND THE REGION”
CENTCOM Commander General Michael Erik Kurilla said in a statement on the subject, “We have made it clear that we are determined to defeat Daesh across the region. DAESH poses a threat not only to the region, but far beyond the region,” he said.
“HIT BY MQ-9 UAV HARASSED BY RUSSIAN AIRPLANE”
In the statement made by CENTCOM, it was stated that the attack was carried out with the MQ-9 UAV, and this UAV was harassed by the Russian aircraft. “There is no indication that any civilian was killed in this attack and the coalition is evaluating reports of a civilian being injured,” the statement said. This will impair and reduce DAESH’s ability to plan and carry out terrorist attacks. However, CENTCOM’s operations against DEASH together with the joint forces in Iraq and Syria will continue with the aim of inflicting a permanent defeat on the organization. “Friday’s attack was carried out by the same MQ-9 that was harassed by Russian aircraft.”
